At Saint Mary's University of Minnesota (SMUMN) we encourage our community of students, alumni, faculty, staff, and others to utilize and enjoy social media, and we invite you to engage with us on our many official university social media platforms and accounts by posting comments about your Saint Mary’s University-related news, events, or ideas.

To make this a place where all Saint Mary’s community members want to visit, we ask you to keep it civil and focused on topics that relate to Saint Mary’s University. We do want to foster respectful dialogue and we prefer not to stifle discourse.

Saint Mary’s University primarily uses social media applications (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Periscope, Instagram, Snapchat, Google Photos, etc.) to present news, events, and information relating to the university and the community. We encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns, but please note the social media space is a moderated online discussion site rather than a public forum.
